I have a pit bull on my route that has sliped out several times and looked nasty ,but he stopped at the end of his lawn and didn't come closer.

Wait a minute... you knocked over a Doberman with an orange?
Feeling the growl again
Good job getting away, but I'm pretty sure if they wanted to eat you, they would have. .

Reminds me of this dog that just has to be the best trained guard dog in the world. As I was approaching the house it started barking. The yard to this house had no fences. The dog charged off the porch right at me. As it got closer to me it jumped up in the air and I swear it was 5ft off the ground.I stopped dead in my tracks and thought dam this is it. Well it landed right in front of the sidewalk and just stood there and growled. I thought wow, there was noway I was crossing the sidewalk and into the yard. I backed away across the street and the dog walked backup to the porch. It was amazing.

Within reason. How you react to a dog has a lot to do with the outcome. A really really vicious dog might come in for the kill no matter what, but even one that really wants to take a piece out of you will take pause if you face it down.
